Mumbai Indians produced a brilliant bowling and fielding performance after Ishan Kishan's batting pyrotechnics as they outclassed Kolkata Knight Riders by 102 runs to keep themselves in the hunt for a play-offs berth in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday night. While Krunal Pandya was the pick of the bowlers as he returned with figures of two for 12, his brother Hardik Pandya returned with figures of two for 16. Ishan was adjudged as the man of the match for his brilliant innings. For Kolkata, Chris Lynn and Nitish Rana scored 21 each. Earlier, Ishan's 21-ball 62 to power Mumbai Indians to 210/6. Kishan's batting between the 10th and 15th over propelled MI from 62/2 in nine overs to 145/3 after 15 overs. During his innings, Ishan hit five fours and six sixes as he brought up his fifty in 17 balls, the joint second-fastest to reach the milestone with Sunil Narine who also completed his half century in 17 balls against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Ishan and skipper Rohit Sharma (36) strung together a 82-run partnership for the third wicket off just 34 balls. (Scorecard)

In the end, Ben Cutting's 9-ball 24 took MI past 200 as the last over went for 24 runs off Piyush Chawla (3/48). Earlier, openers Evin Lewis and Suryakumar Yadav gave MI a decent start. Lewis was dropped by Kuldeep Yadav (3/43) running backwards from square leg off Prasidh Krishna (1/41) when he was batting on 16. But the 26-year-old Trinidadian could not make the most of the reprieve, getting out in strange fashion trying to pull a loose Chawla delivery with the ball ballooning off the back of his bat to short third man where Chris Lynn took an easy catch.

We're done with this game. A one-sided affair where Mumbai steamrolled Kolkata and their fortunes appear to be changing as we are approaching the business end of the tournament. The action now moves to Feroz Shah Kotla where Delhi will play host to Hyderabad on 10th May at 2000 IST (1430 GMT). Do join us for all the action. Cheers!

Ishan Kishan is the unanimous choice for the Man of the Match award. He batted with a strike rate close to 300 and provided the real impetus to Mumbai's innings. An award well deserved.

It was a dominating batting show by Mumbai to post a gigantic total on the board. In reply, Kolkata needed a big start but it never came. In pursuit of quick runs, they kept throwing their wickets away and failed to plan their chase properly. Credit to Mumbai's bowlers and fielders for applying pressure and it was a complete team effort which saw them jump into the top 4 of the points table.

A commanding win for Mumbai! They continue to thrive under immense pressure. This is their third win in a row and finally, they appear to get things back on track. They have registered their second biggest win of the Indian T20 League in terms of runs and extend their winning streak to eight over Kolkata. The hosts slump to their biggest loss (in terms of runs) and are failing to decode the Mumbai challenge.

Krunal Pandya to Kuldeep Yadav

OUT! That's hitting the leg stump! A flighted ball landing around middle, Kuldeep brings out the reverse sweep but fails to make any connection with the bat. It hits him in front of the stumps, they appeal and the finger goes up. Yadav takes the referral but the replays find that the impact is in line and it's hitting leg. All over for Kolkata. MUMBAI WIN BY A MASSIVE MARGIN OF 102 RUNS!

Appeal for an lbw, given. The batsman takes the DRS.

Googly this time, outside off, Prasidh this time keeps it out off the inner half of the bat.
